Refrigerator Maintenance, Cleaning, and Repairs

In order to ensure your fridge is functioning at optimum efficiency (or any appliance for that matter) regular cleaning and or maintenance should be done. For refrigerators specifically it is important to maintain the environment immediately around your refrigerator. Here are a few tips for cleaning and maintenance to maximize the efficiency, power usage, and life of your refrigerator. 

Major replacements, changes, or work on your fridge should always be done by a trained professional in order to prevent the risk of injury or damage to the fridge, but regular cleaning is recommended in your owner's manual and should be referred to for further instructions for regular maintenance.
​
You should periodically clean the refrigerator door gasket using a teaspoon of baking soda mixed with warm water. This keeps your fridge looking and smelling nice, as well as serving the purpose of allowing you to inspect and make sure your appliance is in proper condition. If the door gasket has any sort of damage or misplacement it can cause cold air to escape from the sealed refrigerator and reduce the efficiency of your fridge, as well as lead to improper cooling, and eventually the spoiling of any food inside. 

It is also recommended to clean refrigerator coils using a brush every year, more if your home is especially dusty or full of pet hair. To do so simply unplug the refrigerator first and identify the coils behind your refrigerators grill (either on the front or bottom. On older models it can sometimes be found behind a cover on the back of your machine. Do not touch, or tamper with the insulation or fan to prevent damage.
​
Regular cleaning of the space surrounding the refrigerator is important to keep proper air flow. Dust and hair can clog the vents and fans reducing efficiency and effectively increasing power consumption. It is recommended to reserve at least one inch of space around any given part of the refrigerator (top, bottom, side, back, etc). Beyond that you should pull the fridge out of its space once a year and vacuum or dust the area under and around your refrigerator. In addition always keep your fridge on level ground for ideal functionality.

Make sure to change the inline water filter for the devices ice maker periodically for maximum filtration and quality of ice and water. No one wants unfiltered and potentially hard water, it is important for you and your families health and comfort. Just make sure you turn off whatever water source feeds your machine and have a bowl or bucket on hand to catch water that is being drained from the system if your machine so requires. You can always refer to your owners manual which can be easily found online if you do not have it available anymore for proper procedure and application. 

Some fridges have a replaceable air filter inside that filtered the air being pulled in and pushed out of your appliance. This keeps dust and other particles from invading your refrigerators internal components. This should be changed as needed. While it is recommended to do so at least once or twice a year it is easy to tell when this needs to be changed by simply looking at the filter itself and inspecting how much dust and residue built up it has accumulated.
